I would like to know how to view a movie on my Treo 700P, I have come over from a 700W, and Q where it was self explanatory. I am guessing that I have to download software to view, so could anyone sujust anything? I don't know if it makes a diference but I am using a mac. Your help would be greatly appreciated...thank you

TCPMP is the best software for viewing movies on the palm os. You can get it at http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/. If you want more information, just check out that site or check out the free software portion of the everythingtreo site at http://www.everythingtreo.com/option...76/Itemid,387/. You will have to download some codecs so that the Treo can play video and sound. I have the MP4, MPEG and AC-3 and AAC video codecs installed. The easiest way I've found to get DVD's onto my Treo is to download DVD Shrink 3.2 and the Videora iPod Video Converter (both free). I run the DVD through both of those (instructions online) and now I can play that video on either my iPod video or on my Treo. It works well. You can control the size of the file by setting the video resoultion. I get my movies down to about 750 megs. I have 1 and 2 GB SD cards, so I have movies and music on my 2 GB and all my program info and ringtones are on my 1 GB. Works great for me! You can also get a TON of information about getting movies on the Treo at this thread on everythingtreo: http://www.everythingtreo.com/forum/...50-a-3745.html. That thread is for the Treo 650, but almost all of it works on the 700p as well. Have fun and good luck!

OOO...I just noticed you're using a mac...those instructions are for a Windows machine...however, check out that 650 thread...from what I remember, it references mac issues as well.
